A Green Recruit.

Adjutant General f. b. Gray, Of Madi-
son, Wis. favored the members Of Ran
som Post, g. A. R., with little talk re-
Gently. In the course of his remarks he
referred to the general ignorance of the
first recruits in all matters pertaining to
the army and navy, and stated that the
north had very few real soldiers the first
two years of the war. As an illustration
of this point he related the following in
cident
Soon after the first call for troops was
issued,' he said, member of one Of the
newly organized regiments which had
just been quartered at Washington was
stroiling about the city one day when he
stumbled into the navy yard. His Curl
osity was very much excited at what he
saw there, he having been raised in an
inland town. At last he came across one
of those great anchors that are used on a
man-of-war One of the fiukes was stick
ing in the ground while the other stuck
some twelve or fourteen feet in the air,
and the shank extended out to one side
about fifteen feet The recruit was very
much interested in this strange piece Of
machinery. He examined it on all sides,
tried to move it, and occasionally stared
all around the yard, as if trying to con-
meet it with some other object. After
while the yard officer came around and
told him he would have to leave the
yards.
Oh, but gosh blame it, amt ready
to go yet /" said the recruit.
Can't help it, sir replied the officer;
" the yards close at O'Clock, and every
body has to get out then"
But ! want to stay here, and Pm not
going out My names Peterson, and
belong to the Seventieth New York"
Makes no difference; you must 60
But what on earth do you want to hang
around here for }"
why I've been waiting here for an
hour to see the chap that handles this |
gosh blamed pick, and I'm going to stay
till he comes if / have to wait all sum-
mer."

The Dark Side of Things.

Some people will persist in taking a
gloomy view of everything. There is "A
man of that kind in Austin, living in
Ward No. l3. A neighbor dropped in to
see him the other day and found every
body lively except the head of the family.
How are you all coming on?"
we are all tolerable except Bob. He
is laughing and joking because he is GO
ing fishing. just know that he is going
TO come home drowned, and bowling
with fish hook sticking in him some
where"
"Well, the rest seem to be cheerful
Yes, sorter. Jemimy is jumping and
skipping about because she is going to a
candy pulling, but know something will
happen to her ] read of girl in Phila-
delphia only last year who was coming
from candy pulling, when a drunken
man threw his wife out of three-story
window and killed her"
KILLED who?"
"Jemimy"
=" Why, no; there she is. y
We'll, it might have been her if she
had been on the pavement below where
the woman fell
Well, yon are looking healthy"
" Yes, | feel just like the man did who
dropped dead in New York last week

An Important Element

OF the success of Hoods Sarsaparilla is
the fact that evey purchaser receives a
fair equivalent for his money. The famil-
lar headline 200 Doses One Dollar" stol-
Ell by imitators, is original with and true
only of Hoods Sarsaparilla. This can
easily be proven by any one who desires
to test the matter For real economy,
buy only Hoods Sarsaparilla. Sold by
all druggists.
In many localities Hoods Sarsaparilla
is in such general demand that it is the
recognized family medicine. People
write that the whole neighborhood is
takingit," etc. Particularly is this true of
Lowell, Mass, where it is made, and
where more of Hoods Sarsaparilla is sold
than of any other Sarsaparilla or blood
purifier. 1t is the great remedy for de-
bility, scrofula, dyspepsia, biliousness, or
any disease caused by impure state or
low condition of the blood. Give it a
trial
